Tomatoes
Tomatoes are the best source of a powerful anti-oxidant called lycopene. Anti-oxidants work to neutralize free radicals, unstable oxygen molecules that can damage cells and cause cancers to develop. Several studies have found that people who eat a diet rich in tomato-based foods have a lower risk for cancers of the lung, stomach, and prostate. Lycopene also helps to prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol which leads to the formation of plaque in the arteries.
